The Sentra and Altima both come with Nissan’s extensive warranty.
The 2018 Sentra and 2018 Altima both come standard with efficient 4-cylinder engines under the hood, but they offer different levels of performance:
Engine: 1.8L 4-Cylinder

However, it’s important to note that the Sentra has a lower starting price than the Altima:
